How ye boys get away with the constant heavy metal Christmas morning at home I'll never know 😂

Probably the main benefit of currently being single!

Just as well you don't need to be able to see to enjoy music.

I already have a copy of Epicus Doomicus Maximus with a bonus live LP but a local store has a copy of the triple LP boxset of it I was hesitating over today. Anyone got it? The extras worth it?

I have a Peaceville CD reissue with a live disc from 1988 - it's on CD so more relevant than the silly vinyl verion you might have...

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

  not even sure what that means, but yeah mine is the 2003 Powerline Records reissue (which was CD and vinyl) and the live disc is Birmingham 1988. One thing I always found funny about it is it's not a gatefold, just two LPs shoved into a simple sleeve together with a single page of liner notes. It was official, but feels bootleg (and fairly flimsy tbh).

I think Peaceville just re-reissued the same thing a couple years later. The box set I'm talking about is the Peaceville 35 year anniversary thing: "deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass' essential 1985 recordings preceding the 'Epicus...' session, in the form of the 'Witchcraft' demo plus the OAL studio recordings, & completed by the band's Upplands Väsby rehearsal from November of 1985."

Its release was discussed on here at the time, just wondering if anyone on here picked it up and has anything good or bad to say about the demo and rehearsal material.

I have that Powerline DLP as well. Bought it blind in Sound Cellar twenty years ago on Rodge's recommendation.

Just that all vinyl versions are for the bin.

The Birmingham gig is on disc 2 of my version, wouldn't mind the demo stuff if it got a proper release though.

I have the 3LP, cool to have but unless you're getting a good deal it's not really worth it. Good quality press but the extras aren't really essential I don't think. I think the rehearsal has under the oak on it like 4 times, Epicus is one of my favourite albums but I'm not a big enough maniac to ever feel the need to listen to that

Sound, cheers man. They were selling it for €45, which seemed grand for a 3LP, but sounds like I'd be better off spending that money on two albums I don't already have instead.
